DOES secretarial work offer op
portunities to men? The answer
unquestionably is yes. Many execu
tives prefer male secretaries. Men,
can when necessary, stand the
strain of long hours of work under
trying conditions. They are not
greatly given to fits of temperament
or easily upset because the boss Is
irritable or unappreciative. They
intend to make business their career
and, therefore, are likely to take
an Interest in every detail of their
employers’ work.
There is a shortage of male secre
taries. Why is this the case? The
answer is that the first step in be
coming a secretary is the acquiring
of the ability to take and transcribe
dictation quickly and accurately.
Few men today become proficient
in shorthand and typewriting. They
are apt to think that the study of
stenography is only for women.
This is a mistake. The ability to
take notes rapidly and to operate a
typewriter is almost invaluable in
both business and private life.
The salaries of private secretaries
whether men or women are high
and to men at least the position
opens many opportunities for ad
vancement. Secretaries to execu
tives themselves become executives
with such titles as assistant to the
president or assistant to the vice
president. Because of their knowl
edge of the details of the business
they are often given high positions
in other departments.
